Version 0.9.8 (so close to basic!)

Dev Notes: Version 0.9.8: 

Welcome everybody to a game I played with friends in Vietnam. It was so addicting just sitting around, playing xì dách, and just hanging out with friends playing this game. It made me want to re-create it for myself because it just seemed like all I could find online was "western" or "normal" Blackjack and this game hadn't gained much popularity in the West. 

So close to being able to publish this game as a 1.0. Need some minor updates to the UI to include a way to highlight player red or green depending on whether or not they lost. 

Fixed most major game ending bugs. Plan to get this version to 1.5 before potentially switching tasks for a while. Eventually plan to release the Version 1.5+ on Steam and keep the version here limited to 1.5. 

Next goals: 

1. Custom rules so player can set if there is a penalty, if the penalty is 27 or 28. 

2. How many times the player can be House before switching off. How many times the Computer gets to be house before switching. 

3. Introduce custom rules. Choosing whether it's a 2x or 3x or 4x payout for lucky hands.  Also weirder custom rules like the House being able to re-shuffle and draw on a 15-Points, "No Man's Land". (What even is that, it gives House too much advantage!) Similarly NOBODY I know plays this game with a 7-7-7 rule with a 21x payout. That's a good way to end a friendship. I can't even imagine. But that's what Wikipedia says so maybe some people do use those strange rules. 

4. Vertical orientation gameplay, currently the current format only allows for landscape and I have a separate idea in mind for the Vertical UI. 

5. Introduce more terminology like Ban-Ban and Ban-Luck. 

6. Menu with How to Play so I can get rid of a lot of text from here. 

7. Language localization into Vietnamese and Chinese specifically first due to the popularity of this game abroad. 

8. Improvement with the UI particularly when it comes to the text size, passing the cards out animations. 

9. Music, I already have the music selected but it needs to be implemented along with some SFX. 

10. Refactoring functions and the database. 

I started this project 2 weeks ago! So just trying to get some feedback and hope to keep developing the game even further! :)
